by Bob McGrath (Sesame Street) and Marilyn Davidson.
Bob McGrath, beloved by children and teachers for his performances on the popular "Sesame Street" TV series for more than thirty years, has worked with Marilyn Davidson, authority in the field of music education, to write this very creative music curriculum for children ages 4—8.
Sequenced lessons for Pre/K-2nd Gr. for singing, movement, activities, and learning musical and related concepts. Music includes wonderful songs from Bob's Sing Me a Story, plus folk songs and several classical orchestral listening selections. The conceptually balanced, meaningful and engaging lessons center upon songs which kids love, and reinforce the National Music Standards of MENC for Early Childhood, K-4.
All learning styles are addressed, and the Student Book (9157) includes colorful activities to promote active listening, including a Listening Map for each orchestral selection, finger puppet punch-outs, & more.
The classroom teacher and the music specialist alike will find Music For Fun effective, accessible, flexible, and enriching and the kids will know music is for fun...plus a lot more!
